Description:

The Department of Defence (Defence) via the Australian Army and the Defence Innovation Hub (DIH) are seeking innovation submissions that will assist Defence in exploring Counter Robotic and Autonomous Systems (C-RAS) capabilities for the Land Force. Just as Army is growing its own inventory of Robotic and Autonomous Systems (RAS) capabilities, in parallel, it has a need to counter RAS threats as highlighted through recent conflict. Army requires a layered system of systems that can detect, identify, target and counter individual, multiple and swarms of RAS threats, simultaneously, across the air, ground and littoral environments. For context, industry could consider Army’s Robotic and Autonomous Systems Strategy which outlines the need for un-crewed and autonomous platforms being used for several mission scenarios in order to consider how they can be best countered. Participants are encouraged to maximise the use of passive means to detect and identify.

This procurement is focused on addressing Army’s C-RAS needs and is seeking a minimum of Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 3 systems. Defence is seeking submissions that will include a technology demonstration of at least TRL 5 for Australian Army user evaluation within 12-18 months of contract commencement.
